Stash Report Week 4, 2014

Fabric was purchased this week. My quilting buddy and I went to Road To California Quilt Show on Friday and I walked away with 7 yards of fabric (at $5.00 a yard and I know exactly what I want to use it for) and one pattern.  The good news is that there was also fabric going out this week. So it's all good and I'm still ahead on using my stash.

•  Added this Week:  7 yards


•  Added this Year:    11.75 yards




•  Used this Week :  16.75 yards


•  Used this Year:     33.50 yards




• Net Used this Year  21.75 yards

I hope to get a couple of quilts back from the longarm quilter and get the binding on them so I can count that out too.

For more stash busting head over to Judy's at Patchwork Times.

Change, Changing, Changed

I've been thinking about change lately, in fact I've been thinking about it a lot.

I know that some people don't like change. Heck I myself have been know to balk, resist, avoid, rail, ignore, or down right refuse change.  I find as I'm getting older for the most part I welcome change.  I read a quote from Martha Stewart that says" When you're through changing you're through".  That has been stuck in my mind going round and round along with something my friend says "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result". While I'm not on the verge of insanity (I think) I'm not satisfied with what I'm get and not getting done.

My goals have gotten muddied and I think it's time to change things and head into another direction to accomplish what I want to do this summer.  I think this mostly means changing my focus.  The interesting part about this change at this time is it seems to be across the board in my classes, quilting, yards, house, well just everything.

I've one class left and two quilt club meetings before summer break and I'll spend that time getting ready for "My Summer Of Change". What can I hope to change and get done in three months (two of which are very hot)? I hope I can get a lot done, I'll be writing about it here.  Some things will just be small changes while others are big major changes.

Now that I've written this down and read it for myself this change is sounding very exciting. With two weeks to clear out projects and make way for change, I can't wait to get started.

 

Socks Feb 7, 2013

It's show us your socks day at Patchwork Times.  Today I'm wearing one of my many many pair of Valentine socks.  Because this pair is all about the cuff I had to take one off for the photo.  Let me tell you that tile floor was cold!!

Show Your Socks Jan 17th

I love socks!  I love socks so much that I have TWO sock drawers.  When we go on vacation I always come home with more socks.  Here is what I'm wearing today.



Because there is more to the socks I took them off briefly for the second photo.



I bought these in AZ before doing this half marathon and I've been rocking them ever since.

Check out more socks at Judy's.

Music to do errands by

I've done my time at the gym this morning and now it's time to do errands. I've lots of stops today so I loaded the CD player with Christmas Music. Here's my playlist.





If I finish these I have a bag of back-ups. :)

Have a happy Monday.
